[Freyam Mehta @freymehta]

first post on here, so here's a proper intro.

i'm frey. for the last few years i've been an early engineer at ai startups, building them from the ground up, first in san francisco and now in london.

my journey started with not understanding things and being too curious to leave them alone. that led me to parallel computing at @dask_dev, quantum computing at @GoogleQuantumAI, compilers at @LLVMFoundation, ci tooling at @jenkinsci, cloud security at @Oracle, ai bias research at @AvidMldb, ai security at @RealmLabsAI, and now ai agents at @OvermindLab.

outside of work, i'm usually travelling, and the first phrase i learn in every new country is how to ask if i can pet someone's dog💛

the cutest part of the event 💛

[Thomas Wolf @Thom_Wolf]

Jensen spent 10 min of his keynote asking microducks to sit, then explained Nvidia's roadmap to them 🥹

[Freyam Mehta @freymehta]

@NVIDIAGTC open-source ai in europe is not a side quest anymore 💚 the future is open and accessible!

[Freyam Mehta @freymehta]

@NVIDIAAI the future is open 💚

[Freyam Mehta @freymehta]

@nvidia everybody becoming an ai company means everybody running agents. we built overmind so you can watch, fix and fine-tune every one of them, and we just open-sourced the whole thing so anyone can 🙌

[Freyam Mehta @freymehta]

watching jensen on stage in berlin today was surreal. "everybody will become an ai company" sounds like a big claim, until you spend a week here and see it already happening, from two-person startups to some of the biggest names in industry. congrats @nvidia, this felt like europe's moment!!

what stood out to me most is how open it all is. open models, open tooling, and a real push for companies to own their ai instead of renting it. that is the future i want to be building in. also, the tiny @pollenrobotics microducks waddling around jensen's feet stole the whole show. i need one immediatelyyy

"There's no question everybody will become an AI company and we're going to have a thriving AI economy here in Europe."

[Freyam Mehta @freymehta]

the exciting bit about open models isn't just that they're open. it's that they let us turn proprietary data into sovereign intelligence, tailored to you and running on infrastructure you control.

think linux, but for intelligence. small, specialised models powering the core services, working together as a system anyone can build on.

@NVIDIAAI is pushing this future forward. at @OvermindLab, we're working to bring it to the masses 🙌🙌

[NVIDIA AI @NVIDIAAI]

We’re releasing more open models to help teams across Europe build AI with their own data, on infrastructure they control.

Announced at GTC Berlin, the models help developers, researchers and enterprises build specialized AI agents, train robots, design proteins and develop quantum computers.

in berlin this week for #nvidiagtc, representing @OvermindLab. the last few years were about building the biggest engine, and the next few will be won by the pit crew. come say hi if you are building agents 🙌

[Freyam Mehta @freymehta]

and just like that, every team can fine-tune models on their proprietary data and own the intelligence powering their products 🚀

[Overmind @OvermindLab]

Coinbase built this for their employees.
Overmind ships it for everyone.

Run /overmind finetune in:
• Claude Code
• Cursor
• Codex

Open source, and the model is yours.

[Freyam Mehta @freymehta]

bridging the software (observability, evals, code optimizer, data ingestion) × hardware (training, inference, hosting) in one single product loop ☄️

overmind truly acts as an ai engineer that can do it all while also continuously improving over time!

[Overmind @OvermindLab]

Overmind turns anyone into an AI lab.

• Builds a context graph from code and traces
• Curates training and eval datasets
• Evaluates prompts and models
• Trains smaller, specialized models

you don't need a flamethrower to light a candle. we checked, so you don't have to

and you don't need a frontier model for most agent tasks either. overmind trains one that's built for yours 📷

[Overmind @OvermindLab]

Introducing Overmind. The training platform for agents.

Overmind trained models across biomedical, legal, and engineering tasks beating the frontier and achieving:

• 7x better accuracy
• 20x cheaper usage
• 28x less hallucinations

so what will you actually find here?

mostly me building in public, including the parts that break. notes on ai agents, what's working, what isn't, and what i'm learning along the way. and a lot of travel photos, obviously, plus the occasional adorable doggo gif that never fails to make me smile.

a few things i believe going in. ai keeps making everything faster, but i don't want that speed to cost the joy of actually building things. the hard problems are still the fun part. and the real test for agents isn't another benchmark. it's the day my parents use one without calling me first. that's agi for me.

the process has always mattered more to me than the result, so that's mostly what i'll share. if any of this sounds like you, say hi.

[Freyam Mehta @freymehta]

okay, that's enough linkedin for one thread.

i love playing cricket and swimming. basketball and volleyball were never really my choice. school coaches started pulling me into both for reasons that were mostly vertical, and people still do.

i'm either on a trip or already planning the next one. i take a borderline concerning number of photos of everything around me, and in every new city, my first search is where to find the best pizza.

the rest goes to league, reading, dancing whenever there's music and enough space, and youtube rabbitholes that start with one video and somehow end three hours later on something i'll never need to know.

[Freyam Mehta @freymehta]

@OvermindLab had so much fun building it out with the team! LFGGGGG 🔥
